Menu on the stairs

Chinese food menus in NYC are surprisingly complicated, which makes this staircase even more bizarre. If ever there was a reason to simplify, putting text on the side of each stair would be it. And curiously SLUSH doesn’t earn it’s own letter/number code.

It’s a quiet spot, so I didn’t get to observe anyone walk up the stairs to see how well it worked for them, or even if they noticed.
